7 PnP/PCI Configurations
This section describes configuring the PCI bus system. PCI, or Personal Computer
Interconnect, is a system which allows I/O devices to operate at speeds nearing the speed of
the CPU itself uses when communicating with its own special components. This section
covers some very technical items and it is strongly recommended that only experienced
users should make any changes to the default settings.

(VGA, IDE, SCSI). The rest of the cards will be initialized by the PnP operating system

operating systems (DOS, Netware™ ), this option must set to NO.
The Choices: No (default), Yes.
